This is horrific

Hunter Walker found a real example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

@greatdismal.bsky.social rocking the Gibson for date night. One of my most trusted units! Hope you are doing well!

Months after the killing of Charlie Kirk, a growing number of lawsuits by people claim they were illegally punished, fired and even arrested for making negative comments about Kirk.

“The numbers don’t lie.” Fox News host Brian Kilmeade admits to the Fox News audience the Democrats seem “to be on a roll”.

Completely out of it. Trump sways on his feet and nearly falls asleep, while standing up.

Every talking head: The Don Lemon case is a First Amendment case. Me (*screaming at the TV*): It’s a COMMERCE CLAUSE case! The Don Lemon case is a Commerce Clause case. THE DON LEMON CASE IS A COMMERCE CLAUSE CASE!!!!

Always read @annabower.bsky.social! www.lawfaremedia.org/article/minn...

I'm not as persuaded by the commerce clause argument as Anna, but definitely click through to the excellent Lawfare piece she and @ericcolumbus.bsky.social and Troy Edwards wrote. (My money is on the statutory "right secured" by the FACE Act argument.)

Can’t stop, won’t stop

WE ARE SO BACK, BABY!!!! #WITAOD

NEW: We’re publishing a full list of the 373 federal judges who have ruled against ICE’s mass detention policy and the 28 who have endorsed it — as well as links to key rulings by each. Trump appointees have split 44 against/ 20 for the policy. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

🚨 President Trump’s Claim of an “Irrefutable” Argument Supporting His Right to Unilaterally Impose Voter ID and Election Rules May Be Based on Insane Claim that Marriott Hotel Manager Found Secret Text in the Shadows of a Microfilm Copy of the U.S. Constitution electionlawblog.org?p=154326

"It is a stark example of how, during Trump’s second term, the Department of Justice has eroded long-standing norms, weaponized prosecutorial power, and turned the courtroom into a stage for political theater," write @annabower.bsky.social, @ericcolumbus.bsky.social, and Troy Edwards.

Update: This is what he went with. Nothing says “strictly platonic” like an armored vehicle. 💘😂 bsky.app/profile/anna...

Call me old fashioned, but giving an angry drunk like Lewandowski a gun may not be such a great idea. DHS is a joke now (it kind of always was TBH). Part of the post 9/11 security theater than forced us into militarized USA. Saw a lot of this up close at major events, clown show.

the other bizarre thing about this is that it treats American slavery — a social, cultural, political and economic institution — as somehow beyond and outside of politics, and thus untethered to contemporary political questions. which, again, the mind of a simpleton. bsky.app/profile/mich...

someone ask chatterton if he knows what the “lost cause” was

YES. A turn to state constitutions for substantive protections from federal authoritarianism is a necessary development under the present circumstances. I've long seen federalism as on balance bad for rights—Jim Crow, after all, lasted nearly a century. But today, its potential can't be denied.

His attacks on the midterms are real and dangerous… and aren’t going to work. Running down the case for an optimistic threat assessment @theunpopulist.net :

Deporting undocumented immigrants only gets to 22% in this YouGov poll. 6/

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

(there is something very funny also about Rubio adopting a late 18th century european chauvinist’s contempt for ‘creole’ peoples. like, dude, you’re *cuban*)

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

Portland’s $2.1 billion water filtration project got the go-ahead from a state land use court — another victory for the city in a yearslong legal fight with nearby landowners.

Everyone around the world knows that Trump and his admin is full of shit on the “ending 8 wars” claims, but all they can do is roll their eyes and laugh amongst themselves because the petulant child and his cultists like Waltz will get mad if they call it out publicly.

While this is true, nobody in the Trump admin or MAGA movement believes this.

With everything that is going on in the world and the US right now, this is what The New CBS is airing on Sunday.

Because it’s not really about trying to get troops to vote Republican-that would be bad enough. It’s about conditioning the military to obey a man and not their oath to the Constitution. It’s why Hegseth & Trump were so adamant about prosecuting the 6 Dems who spoke up about it.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

NEW EPISODE: Republicans know they’re on track to lose the 2026 midterms—and they’re trying to rig the election to stop it. I break down the Save America Act, the most sweeping voter suppression bill in a generation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYsx...

Utah Republicans’ plan to repeal the state’s gerrymandering ban in order to grab another congressional seat isn’t going as well as they hoped — despite Donald Trump Jr.’s best efforts to help recruit workers for a MAGA political firm that turned in fraudulent signatures.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution. Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In 2016, U.S. diplomats reported sudden neurological injuries. Nearly a decade later, we still don’t have clear answers. Here’s why Havana Syndrome matters in an era of election instability. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

China has ceased to increase CO2 emissions since 2024. It's flat or decreasing. Trump is bringing back coal. Trump says global warming and CO2 emissions are a hoax. Trump is stripping auto emissions standards going all the way back to 2012. Trump is canceling wind and solar power.

Perhaps a better way of saying this would be to say that in just his first year in office Donald Trump ordered the illegal detention of well over 4,000 human beings—and that that number is undoubtedly wildly low because it only considers those people who filed lawsuits to try to regain their freedom

Shocking footage appears to show scared children running from New Jersey bus stop as school blames nearby ICE operation

I'm coming to the end of writing my next novella-length report on Trump and Epstein. It reads like a gripping novel—yet every word is true. I promise to get it out as quickly as I can; it's certainly coming this week to PROOF. As ever, it's fully sourced and as detailed as you could hope for.

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the state can put a redistricting plan on the ballot this spring that could add as many as four more Democratic seats in Congress. The referendum will take place on April 21.

Obama responds to the racist Trump video — saying there's a "sort of clown show" playing out on social media: "What is true is there doesn't seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sense of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office."

Why was Dr. Oz inviting Epstein to parties 8 years after Epstein was convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution?
